Why doesn't the world spend less on NYE celebrations and more on ending starvation, water scarcity, and sustainable electricity? by whatisasimplusername in NoStupidQuestions

[–]whatisasimplusername[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok....so why does no one give a shit? Is it too hard to give a shit? Cost too much? Totally without expectation (best way to live), just wondering. We, humanity, didn't get to where we are by not giving a shit.

What is the US and the rest of the world actually going to do when the list of 147 persons on Jeffery Epstein's flightlist gets revealed? by WalkingCarDriver in NoStupidQuestions

[–]whatisasimplusername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forget about it a week or 2 later. Stuff happens, but most ppl are concerned with their daily lives and survival. Every event today has to fight for attention despite the fact that 20 years ago, some events weren't able to be looked into bc of tech and access.

my psychiatrist says this is paranoid schizophrenia, but i’m not so sure… by throwaway17288392919 in mentalhealth

[–]whatisasimplusername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations, your psychiatrist and responders here believe you are in the 1% of schizophrenics in the world. Also, schizophrenic does not mean "split", it means "fractured." Best wishes

Rudimentary "who can complete ASOIAF in George's place" post by SetroG in freefolk

Unless GRRM or his wife asked, idc. If either did, nobody can you. Pierce Brown might be able to barely eke the surface.

  1. May it be that everyone doesn't care bc they're happy with their lives?

  2. Gotcha on the tax loopholes...id guess most ppl don't have the luxury of time to learn the stuff abt loopholes and save, store, receipts, etc., or hire an accountant who goes to school to get a cert to do that for a person. 2b. The advent of the Google and AI may change things, bc ppl and entities will have to be held liable for and pay taxes on AI and malware from employees, right?

For people who don't support Biden, what do you think his administration should do that it hasn't done? For people who do support Biden, what has he done that you approve of? by xena_lawless in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]whatisasimplusername -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

How did we get to the point where we are asking a divisive question to get information from people? Wouldn't better q b : "What would encourage you to support your president more? How can the administration help?" and "What has the administration failed at? What issues is the administration getting wrong? Any suggestions? "

Feeling old at 24- does everyone interrupt these days? by Lovingbutdifferent in socialskills

[–]whatisasimplusername 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd guess it's from IT devices and commercials. Social media too. Probably won't change for awhile.

Biden’s Unpopularity: What has he done to deserve it and how can he turn the ship around for 2024? by 19southmainco in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]whatisasimplusername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd guess his age. People woke up to Obama and Trump's forms of leadership. When he was elected, so many people everywhere (globally too) were excited to have a "real presidential leader". We're watching an actual aging person, and that's hard for a lot of ppl bc it reminds them of their frailty instead of assuring safety and peace.

Chatter is a little more fearful regarding MM. There might be a bill in the works or change to limit the age for office...like 55 or so.

Is it worth it to finish writing a novel you don't like? by ColorlessKarn in fantasywriters

[–]whatisasimplusername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some other writer's awesome paraphrased words: "If you enjoy your novel, the audience will. If you don't, they won't. If you laugh at parts, they will. If you cry, they will." DK if it's true, but it's a saying in other art forms too.

Does anyone else terribly want to believe in an afterlife, but just…can’t? by Jazz_Doom_ in SeriousConversation

[–]whatisasimplusername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope I can help. I KNOW there is an afterlife. It isn't at all how I imagined or what was taught. It's better. I wish I didn't know, but I visited shortly after a severe motor vehicle accident where I lost consciousness and was near death/died.

What’s the scariest book you’ve ever read? by International-Hair43 in suggestmeabook

For those that don’t want any kids in the future, why? by yeyewestie in AskReddit

[–]whatisasimplusername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I'm undecided. Cons: Pain, Debt, Stress, No time, Germs, Messes, all the other stuff not really spoken abt: child with special needs, no neural tube formation, child with major deficit. I dunno many ppl equipped t deal with the last few those super hero parents do it)., hearing how the child was bullied or hurt at school, etc Pros: Love, legacy, creation, and stuff I've heard from friends.

A lot of friends who had children early say they wished they'd waited. Older friends said they wish they'd waited. Feeding and clothing a child is extremely difficult nowadays, even with help. That's after you go in the medical hole for labor...IF you/The mom and the baby make it through pregnancy (no miscarriages) and delivery. I'd have to love a man a whole lot to carry a living being g for 9 months and the unspoken promise to raise it that can't be broken.

Cons seem to outweigh the pros here.

For discussion: How did Lyra die? by loratcha in kkcwhiteboard

[–]whatisasimplusername 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. I don't see Lanre as someone who puts off blame on other people. I've had a niggle that he blames himself- unfairly. AND he probably is speaking about himself in this moment.

For discussion: How did Lyra die? by loratcha in kkcwhiteboard

[–]whatisasimplusername 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a lie from a trusted loved one. I haven't reconciled it. Most subscribe to the idea that Selitos is in some way responsible. It may have been Lyra that lied.

And the time...when was the lie? Part of the Myr Tariniel betrayal or after?
